Granada form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Granada so far with only 9 points returning home. The records show 1-6-6 (win-draw-lose). Three consecutive losses in away matches means Granada are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.

Granada played 0-0 against Cadiz in their previous match. Maximiano was the team player of the game with the player rating of 7.83. The agile goalkeeper Maximiano topped it up with a clean sheet.

A loss against Villarreal was the result prior to that, in a home game.
